Carabao Cup:
Manchester City
(h)
The Magpies are in Carabao Cup Semi-final first leg
action on Tuesday evening, against Manchester
City.
It's an 8pm kick-off at SJP live on ITV1 and Sky
Sports.
The Citizens were allocated 4,893 places but look to have
returned an unspecified number.
Football Bobbles will have a
stall outside the Trent House from 5pm. Card payments accepted.
Both sides entered the Third Round of the
competition as a consequence of their Champions League
involvement.
Eddie
Howe's side have defeated Bradford City (4-1), Spurs (2-0)
and Fulham (2-1) on Tyneside as they attempt to defend the
trophy they lifted at Wembley last March.
Pep Guardiola meanwhile oversaw away wins at Huddersfield
Town (2-0) and Swansea City (3-1) before seeing off
Brentford (2-0) at the Etihad Stadium.
Two goals from Harvey Barnes gave the Magpies a 2-1 success
over City in the PL at SJP back in November.
Team: Tino Livramentro joins a sick
list including Fabian Schar, William Osula, Emil
Krafth and Jamaal Lascelles.
Anthony Elanga and Jacob Murphy both have a chance of making
the squad for this tie, while Dan Burn remains "a couple of
weeks away" according to Howe on Monday - raising the
prospect of a return to action in Paris.
Coral rate this tie as follows:
NUFC win 21/10
The draw 5/2
MCFC win 6/5

MCFC:
Broken leg victim Josko Gvardiol has joined
fellow defenders Ruben Dias and
John Stones on the injured list and prompted the recall of
Max Alleyne from loan at Watford.
Also sidelined are Mateo Kovacic, Savinho and Oscar Bobb,
while Omar Marmoush remains in action at
the AFCON Finals with Egypt but Algeria's exit at the hands
of Nigeria means that Rayan Ait-Nouri will be available for
the SJP visit.
Although he appeared for Bournemouth in an earlier round of
this season's Carabao Cup, new signing Antoine Semenyo is
eligible to play against us.
Referee: Chris Kavanagh - the Lancashire-based official
returns to Gallowgate for the third time this season, having
taken charge of the 1-0 PL victory over Wolves and 2-0
Carabao Cup conquest of Spurs.
VAR: Stuart Attwell.

Departure:
Lawrence stands down
Following Friday's 0-1 home loss to Boro in PL2,
Newcastle confirmed on Sunday morning that U21 Lead Coach
Adam Lawrence had left the club with immediate effect.
The former Manchester United U18 Coach was appointed in
succession to Diarmuid O'Carroll back in August, overseeing
two victories in six league outings but watching his side
fail to score in any of their last six games in all
competitions.
Robbie Stockdale will take charge of the U21s until further
notice, starting with Tuesday's Premier League International
Cup tie against Benfica.
Stockdale arrived on Tyneside in February 2025 as assistant
to O'Carroll, briefly acting as interim coach following his
exit and then working as Lawrence's number two.

Departure:
Bairns take Ben
Scottish Premiership side Falkirk have completed the
permanent signing of Newcastle reserve forward Ben
Parkinson for an undisclosed figure.
The 20 year-old has signed a two and a half year contract
and made his debut on Saturday from the bench in a 2-0
victory at St.Mirren.
England youth international "Parky" came through United's
academy to make his reserve bow in 2022. Several senior
friendly appearances were then followed by what was his sole
first team outing - coming off the bench in a 0-2 Premier
League loss at Bournemouth in November 2023
An ankle issue restricted his availability for last season
but he ended as U21s top scorer with 12 in all competitions.
A broken bone in his foot then blighted the current campaign
for Ben, delayed his involvement until last November.
PLIC:
U21s Benfica (h) change
The kick-off time of Newcastle's closing Premier League
International Cup fixture has been altered, with
Tuesday's visit of Benfica moving from 7pm to 1pm.
Venue remains Whitley Park.

ST holders have 24
hours to apply, 24 hours to determine success, 48 hours to
buy.
Success is based on the loyalty point total calculated from applications
received. Any applications from ST holders with less points are entered into a
ballot, which will have taken place before tickets go on sale.
The purchase window is divided into two sections determined by a loyalty
point division that alters for each game - those successful applicants above
that point division get a couple of hours head start.
Note that emails from NUFC confirming success may arrive after the purchase
window opens - if you think you qualify because of your points total, just log
on and complete your purchase regardless.
Tickets not bought by successful applicants within 48 hours are offered
to unsuccessful applicants with the next highest loyalty points total. NUFC contact them directly.
Friends and family groups remain, travel groups and away season tickets are

On This Day in History |
|
12th January |
|
Born Or Died:
1948 Brendan Foster born, Hebburn.
A familiar figure in Tyneside sporting circles for many years,
Toon fan Bren's talent for distance running brought him recognition at Olympic
level and a Bronze medal in 1976.
Two years earlier though, he'd provided a rare moment of black and white
success at Wembley Stadium (pictured above), as he himself recalls:
"My dad took me to my first match at St. James' Park in 1955. I was seven.
It was the last match before the 1955 Cup final.
"Everyone got
a voucher which went into a hat, and my dad won a Cup final ticket for
Newcastle v Man City at Wembley.
"I stayed home and watched it on TV, and vowed that the next time
Newcastle were at Wembley we would all go.
"Twenty years later, Newcastle faced Liverpool in the final. The FA asked
me to run before the match at Wembley - I'd broken the world record the year
before.
"I got a dozen tickets from the FA, and took my dad, my brother and all
our mates. I won the race in a black-and-white vest given to me by Dave
Bedford and then threw it into the crowd.
"We lost 3-0 in the FA Cup final, Kevin Keegan murdered us."
2000 Sven Botman born, Badhoevedorp, Netherlands (2022-date)
Scouted by Newcastle and the subject of a bid in January 2022, the Magpies
got their man six months later when the central defender arrived from Lille
at a claimed cost of £35m.
Born in a suburb of Amsterdam, Sven began his career in the Ajax Academy and
played second tier football for them aged 18.
Featuring for their Ajax first team in summer 2019, Botman spent the next
season on loan at Heerenveen before a £7.5m switch to Lille followed in July
2020.
Sven's first year in French football brought Europa League action and ended with
title success, which saw him gain Champions League experience in 2021/22.
First sighted during a low-key kickabout against 1860
Munich in Austria, Botman made a successful Premier League bow at home to
Nottingham Forest on opening day.
It would take until January 2023 before he finished on the losing side for
his new club at the 20th time of asking - playing a significant part in a
dazzling start to the season .
The following season saw Sven in the side as United returned to Champions
League action with a 0-0 draw away to AC Milan.
However, a knee injury sidelined him for three months after scoring
his first goal as a Magpie in an 8-0 win at Sheffield United.
Returning late in 2023, Botman was too
late to help his colleagues extend their European adventure
and endured a Carabao Cup exit at Chelsea in only his second
game back.
Sven left the pitch after an FA Cup Fifth Round defeat at Manchester
City in March 2024 and it was revealed that another known knee injury
required surgery.
He was missing for over nine months before returning for a league game at
Tottenham Hotspur in early 2025.
However, another injury restricted him to just ten appearances for the
2024/25 season and this season he has again been in and out of the side.
Internationally, Sven represented his home nation from the U15s to the U21s
and earned a maiden senior call-up in
2020 without getting on to the pitch.
Despite his excellent club form, he failed to
earn a seat on the Dutch plane to the Qatar World Cup in November 2022.
International selection did follow in June 2023, Botman an
unused substitute for two UEFA Nations League ties.

before the visitors had a third goal controversially disallowed before half
time.
Bobby Mitchell then netted at the Gallowgate End to level the tie before
putting his side ahead within two minutes. Jackie Milburn set up George Robledo to complete a
fine comeback for the FA Cup holders.

Three days after their epic 5-4 FA Cup win at
Maine Road, Newcastle were without Bob Stokoe at Old Trafford after a late injury withdrawal.
That prompted a senior team debut for centre half Malcolm Scott - who
only learned of his call-up after finishing his shift at a South Shields
shipbuilders the previous day.

Richards(3)

72 hours after their FA Cup Third
Round replay win over Hendon at Vicarage Road, the Magpies came unstuck
in the Molineux mud.
Alan Kennedy's early backpass to Iam McFaul wasn't firm enough and
prolific home forward John Richards nipped in to score the only goal.
1980

32,281
A week after being dumped out of the FA Cup by lower league Chester
City, Newcastle were knocked off the top of Division Two by Geoff
Hurst's Blues.
Defender John Brownlie had already cleared off his own line before
veteran Ron Harris crossed for Mike Fillery to head past Steve Hardwick.
David Barton then turned a centre past his own 'keeper early in the
second half before a solo run from Clive Walker soon after ended in a
third.
Walker then set up Tommy Langley to make it 0-4 from close range
before the Magpies had come anywhere Petar Borota's goal.
United's Kings Road misery was captured by the BBC "Match of the Day"
cameras, who returned the following season for the corresponding fixture - and
witnessed a 6-0 home victory.

Sharp(17), Mountfield(32),
Sheedy(62,86)

In-form forward Graham Sharp headed Everton ahead before
some awful defending allowed Derek Mountfield to scramble home a corner
from close range.
Future Magpies Paul Bracewell and Kevin Sheedy combined for the
latter to make it 3-0 before Glenn Roeder cleared Peter Reid's effort off the line. Sheedy then netted from close range via a post as the Toffees
topped the table - and would remain there for the rest of that season.
This Goodison debacle was to be on-loan
striker Ian Baird's last United game and he was promptly sent back to
Southampton.

Mitchell(55)
16,382
A four match winless league run (although three of those games were
1-1 draws) was ended when debutant loan forward David Mitchell headed
in.
The Scotland-born Australian international had just arrived from Chelsea
and met Steve Watson's cross to beat Bobby Mimms.
The Gallowgate scoreboard displayed "That's the Magic of Mitchell"
to mark the occasion.

1996 Amid much press speculation, Kevin Keegan ruled himself of
the running for the vacant position of England manager.
2000 Brothers Sarfraz and Shahzad Najeib
were chased from the Majestyk nightclub in Leeds by a group of
men, with Sarfraz left unconscious with a fractured nose, leg and
cheekbone after an assault in the street.
Among those later charged in connection with the
matter were future Newcastle players Lee Bowyer and Jonathan Woodgate.
Both were found not guilty of grievous bodily harm but Woodgate was
convicted of affray.
Bowyer was branded a liar by the judge over his
version of events and landed with a £1m legal bill. He later reached an
out-of-court financial settlement with the Najeib family in order to
head off the threat of a civil action.

Newcastle leapfrogged Leeds into top spot despite conceding within 27 seconds, when future Magpie Alan
Smith netted.
Michael Duberry didn't improve
his popularity with his team mates with an equalising own goal and was
racially abused by his own fans.
Jonathan Woodgate, David Batty, Lee Bowyer and Mark
Viduka also played for Leeds. Danny Mills was red-carded for kicking Craig Bellamy.

The FA charged
Emre with using racially -aggravated abusive and/or insulting words
during an incident against Everton at

Nigel Pearson took charge following the departure of Sam
Allardyce and his temporary charges somehow reached half time goalless.
Cristiano Ronaldo struck a first hat-trick for the Reds though as we fell to pieces, conceding six goals and clearing three more
off the line - Fergie's mob also having claims for a penalty.
Ex-Red, Alan Smith,
got himself sent off in added time to compound what was a truly awful
day.
Future Magpie Danny Simpson played for the hosts in the second half - although he didn't have to do much defending....

2008 Hours
before that Old Trafford humping, Harry Redknapp went public to reject the
managerial vacancy at Gallowgate.
Then-United
Chairman, Chris Mort, would later confirm that Redknapp was offered the position but released his "exclusive" to Sky early on
Saturday before NUFC went public.
2008 There was another six goal haul - but at the right end for the Magpies - as
the U18s walloped Barnsley 6-0 on
Tyneside.
All the goals came in the first half, with James Marwood, Jonny Godsmark
and Frank Wiafe Danquah all grabbing two apiece.

3-3 friendly draw with Hibernian at Darsley Park
United's scorers were Phil Airey and two from Jeff Henderson. Airey
later had a brief and unsuccessful loan spell at Easter Road.

City's tenth
successive league and cup win over Newcastle is remembered for the Magpies goal that got away, when Cheick Tiote's sizzling
volley at the Leazes End seemingly brought his side level.
Tiote made for the home dugout amid great scenes of celebration, but greater pandemonium followed as referee
Mike Jones was urged by City players to consult with the linesman on the East Stand
touchline.
The goal was chalked off with Yoan Gouffran undoubtedly standing offside, but
wrongly deemed to have interfered with play by taking evasive action to
avoid the ball - Hart claming he'd been unsighted as a
result.

Paul Dummett's late

Recovering from 0-2 to 2-2 and pressing for a winner, that terrific fight back
looked in vain when Wayne Rooney put his side 3-2 up.
The match was preceded by a minute's applause
for the late Pavel
Srnicek, with brother Milan at pitchside, clad in
one of Pav's Newcastle shirts.
New boys Henri Saivet and Jonjo Shelvey weren't involved, but
took to the field for introductions to the crowd before kick-off.

but Matt Ritchie's

Clark to level.
However, Willian restored Chelsea's advantage in the second half to

Short of putting the ball in their own net Steve Bruce's

Ryan Fraser was needlessly booked twice in just four minutes, before VAR dubiously decreed a deliberate handball by

Speaking after his side's maidsen visit to Gallowgate, Bromley Head Coach and ex-Magpie assistant manager Andy Woodman said, "It was nice to have a little bit of hope. We had a little bit of the
romance of the FA Cup today and I’m really chuffed about that."
